I had heard great things about the Trader Joe's Mini Cafe Twists so
while at the store I made sure to pick up a container to give a try.
I'm a huge fan of cafe twists ... there's a brand my local grocery store
sells that's pretty tasty and uniquely sold in a variety of different
flavors. Flavor options aside, the Trader Joe's variety is your standard
cafe twist with no unique or interesting flavor categories.
The
treat is dairy free containing no butter, eggs, yeast and are low
sodium. There isn't much to them, the ingredients being simply
unbleached wheat flour, soybean oil, palm oil, beet sugar, cinnamon and
salt. If you don't have a Trader Joe's in your area, these are
essentially the Barry's Bakery Original French Twists just re-packaged
(which are sold in plastic containers, similar to the one pictured, or
in bags).
The twists are a puff pastry dessert
which is a combination of crispy, crunchy and slightly sweet with a
cinnamon flavoring. The crisps are perfect on their own, or alongside a
nice cup of coffee/tea. They serve the cure for crunch, sweet and a
dessert ... it's a hybrid between a cookie and a dessert. I find them to
be satisfying while not being something that can turn into a trigger.
Even though they're described as mini the twists are pretty decent in
size (about a fingers length in size, if not a tad bigger).
A serving, 4 twists, is 120 calories or 3 points plus values.
